3.6.4 Starting the LEC(s) and Joining an ELAN
Now that the ELAN services have been started, you can have LECs join the ELAN that you
have created.
NOTE
The switch software only allows you to create an
instance of a LEC on a switch. To create an
instance of a LEC on a host, you must use the
ForeRunner VLAN Manager or use a ForeRunner
host adapter. Please refer to the respective User’s
Manual for instructions.
NOTE
A LEC created on the switch cannot join a Token
Ring ELAN. It can only join an Ethernet ELAN.
1.
To start a LEC that will attempt to join the ELAN, use the following AMI command
on the switch that is going to be a LEC:
conf lane lec new
<LEC Selector byte (HEX)> <ELAN name>
[-ip
<IP Address>
[-mask
<IP netmask>
]]
[(wellknown | manual)]
manual mode options: [-lecs
<LECS address>
] or [-les
<LES address>
]
NOTE
The recommended (and default) method for
starting a LEC is to use the
wellknown
mode,
meaning that the LEC will attempt to contact the
LECS on the “well-known” address as defined
by the ATM Forum’s LAN Emulation standards
(
47.0079.00.000000.0000.0000.0000.00
A03E000001.00
).
For example, to start a LEC that attempts to join the ELAN called engineering,
enter the following:
configuration lane lec new 2 engineering -ip 192.168.61.25 -mask
255.255.255.0
